         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to represent said at least one scrolling region based at least in part on a determination that less than all received text information is represented in said edit region. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of any of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to determine an edit position associated with said received text information and determine at least part of said received text information to scroll based at least in part on said edit position. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said edit position relates to a position selection. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said edit position relates to a position associated with text corresponding to received text input. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said edit position relates to a position associated with an end of the received text information. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said determined text information comprises text information before said edit position. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said determined text information comprises text information after said edit position. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said determined text information comprises text information before a first character associated with a row corresponding to said edit position. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said determined text information comprises text information after a last character associated with a row corresponding to said edit position. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said determined text information excludes text information associated with a row corresponding to said edit position. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said scrolling region overlaps with at least one part of said edit region, wherein said edit region does not include a row corresponding to said edit position. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said edit region comprises a plurality of rows of text. 
     
     
         14 - 79 . (canceled) 
     
     
         80 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to determine that a time interval has elapsed without receiving indication of user input. 
     
     
         81 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said scrolling region and said edit region at least partially overlap. 
     
     
         82 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to cause said scrolling region to be visually different from said edit region. 
     
     
         83 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to:
 provide for receiving an indication of user input; and   cause termination of scrolling of said determined text information based at least in part on said input.   
     
     
         84 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to:
 provide for receiving an indication of user input; and   cause termination of representation of scrolling region based at least in part on said input.   
     
     
         85 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to cause display of said scrolling region. 
     
     
         86 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said processor is further configured to cause display of said edit region. 
     
     
         87 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus is a mobile device. 
     
     
         88 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus is a mobile device. 
     
     
         89 . A method, comprising:
 receiving text information;   representing at least part of received text information in an edit region;   determining that less than all received text information is represented in said edit region;   determining at least part of said received text information to scroll; and   causing scrolling of said determined text information in at least one scrolling region.   
     
     
         90 . A computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform:
 providing for receiving text information;   providing for representing at least part of received text information in an edit region;   determining that less than all received text information is represented in said edit region;   determining at least part of said received text information to scroll; and   causing scrolling of said determined text information in at least one scrolling region.   
     
     
         91 . A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising:
 code for providing for receiving text information;   code for providing for representing at least part of received text information in an edit region;   code for determining that less than all received text information is represented in said edit region;   code for determining at least part of said received text information to scroll; and   code for causing scrolling of said determined text information in at least one scrolling region.
